When I scrolled the page down the little book cover icons went past and the next thing I knew, Toki was trying to eat them.

Definitely an interesting read. I read some of Pollan's work and came to roughly the same conclusion (though less articulately) that you have. His work strikes me as classist in so many ways and those ardent followers use it as a way to distinguish and validate themselves. I wonder how much of that has to do with the general ignorance toward history and patterns that is so prevalent here in the US? I came here from the Fat Nutritionists blog.

You know, tooth imprints and all. :) “Mark Leyner, Tooth Imprints on a Corn Dog”

Well, you've convinced me. Pollanites aren't douchebags *at all*. So please, go back to harassing people on Twitter, I'm won over.

Scientist? Food preparation? I'm a engineer (career I kinda of practice from time to time) and became a cook (shit I do daily on a commercial kitchen). So I guess that covers that. Animals fed up close? Slaugthering? Dude, that was my childhood. Rabbits, chickens, pork (that awful shriek right before they stab their bodies....their delicious bodies), goats, lobsters (awful creatures). To this day, my family still raises chickens -and kill chickens with a very cool neck twisty action-, fighting cocks, and whatever other tasty birdie or mammal comes my dad's way. Have you ever cleaned pork intestines and blow them to make blood sausage? BTW, do you have an intimate relationship with the food supply the way you imply most "Pollanites" don't? Do you? It is ironic, because the person who introduced to Pollan's work actually comes from more or less my same social background (which is far from middle class), became a Microbiologist and worked for Purdue (you know that big poultry company). ta da. toodles. awwww…cute diatribe, yet so wrong on the psycho profiling.
